A large flint core of early Mesolithic or early Neolithic date. The core is cylindrical with one platform and parallel striking of narrow blades. One face of the object has narrower scars from blade removal while on the opposite face wider blades have been removed down the length of the core with shorter narrower blades removed from above (towards the striking platform) at a diagonal angle to the lower removals. The removed flints appear to have been blades. There is no visible sign of platform dressing.
A strip of light cream cortex remains along the length of one side of the core measuring 20mm in width. The opposite long edge of the flint tapers to a sharp edge and appears to have been worked with retouch visible along one half of this edge suggesting the core may have been re-used as a tool.
The flint is a mottled black with patches of grey and linear streaks of reddish brown.
Dimensions: 75mm in length, 55mm in width, 20mm thick (at the cortex side) 3mm thick (at the narrow edge), 153.8g
